Join us as Artemis II astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft hold a news conference to answer media questions on their way home to Earth.
Participants include:
– NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander
– NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot
– NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist
– Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist
With just days until the crew splashes down in the Pacific Ocean on Friday, April 10, the Artemis II test flight has reached multiple milestones, including manually piloting the Orion spacecraft, surpassing the Apollo 13 record for farthest crewed spaceflight, and a lunar flyby to view the far side of the Moon.
Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.
